That there might be millions of white American citizens who are animated by a deeply felt solidarity with their neighbors that can’t be extinguished with a bit of violent intimidation is not something the regime properly accounted for.

#readbannedbooks,
but also put them in #littlelibraries around Alberta, so our kids and teens don't miss out on them.

I've thought the same about that "they go low, we go high" slogan.

I also don't like that it implies that appropriate escalation of self-defense measures is in someway "low."

Defending ourselves and each other from terrorists has zero impact on our moral high ground.

Seeing that no press freedom orgs have rushed to defend and help @rachelgilmore.bsky.social makes me ask, for the millionth time, what do CJFE, PEN, etc even do? Why exist at all when you do fuck all to fight censorship and intimidation?

Ugh of course he's based in Alberta.

I'm Albertan, before anyone gets upset and "Not All Albertans" me. I know! I know!

"Not all Albertans" and yet somehow [almost] always an Albertan.

I hate it here.

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social is a national treasure & this is bs.

Our politicians should be embarrassed. Their inaction is why terrorists feel they can stalk/threaten journalists.

Yes, literally terrorists; this is an overt bid to induce terror.

Allowing this kneecaps democracy.

I literally cackled (morbidly) when I read that part.

"We ArE eVeRyWhErE".... I mean, so are we? They're grossly outnumbered, not sure why they're getting a chubby just because they have a wee little club.

I think you might be onto something there. She's really fidgety lately (watch for her wringing her hands) and has absolutely no poker face. Micro-expressions leaking through the moment she has to stop speaking and listen to anyone.

I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.

After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club β€” one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.

Here’s my investigation:

Trump β€˜will not sign other bills’ until Republicans pass SAVE America Act The statement is a blunt ultimatum to Congress β€” pass the anti-voting bill or risk seeing other legislation stalled.

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A vintage magazine covered design by John Heartfield in the 1930s, showing Adolph Hitler as a puppet being manipulated and directed by German steel magnate Fritz Thyssen. Beside it is an updated version, with Putin replacing Thyssen as the puppet master and Trump/Krasnov replacing Hitler as the puppet.

#resistanceart, originally by John Heartfield, but updated for 2026. We all know who really pulls the strings; Krasnov is a problem but the structure that gave him power will outlast him.

So the morning after the US Military reigns literal hellfire on the people of Iran, news outlets are all yapping about a Google search Epstein prison guard made 7 years ago?

I could be wrong, but didn't we already know about that in like 2020?

I think what we're learning is how important it is to treat all children as though they were our own family. So that those who don't have safe parents still have a community, no matter what.

Not sure how we change society to make that happen though. :S

In this AIZ cover by John Heartfield, he blends an image of a prison with a barbed wire fence with that of an a wealthy capitalist. The collage is titled "Kapitalistische Arbeitsbeschaffung"or "Capitalist labour procurement."

A photomontage by John Heartfield, originally produced in 1932 by repurposed several times throughout the 20th century. In it the dove of peace [is impaled] on a bayonet is shown before the League of Nations building. A swastika replaces the Swiss flag. While there is no blood in the image, there are some loose feathers flowing to the ground, adding to the sense of implied violence in the image.

John Heartfield website, run by his descendant, notes that he was a deep lover of animals, adding to the emotional weight of this piece.

"This #johnheartfield poster... protest[ed] the Geneva concessions to Hitler.
The dove of peace on a bayonet is shown before the League of Nations building. A swastika replaces the Swiss flag. [It has been] universally regarded as a masterpiece of #political imagery."

A 1930s photo montage by John Hartfield. It depicts Germany's then premiere steel magnate Fritz Thyssen- Hitler's largest financier- holding a wooden toy puppet on the likeness of Adolph Hitler. 

Below the image in the title/footer 'A Puppet in Thyssen's Hand!"

Below that small text reads "if the investigation into Donald Trump's financial interaction with Russia deepens could there be a more fitting image? As it becomes more apparent that the United States president, because of some details yet to be revealed, is indeed a Russian puppet Trump in the hands of Vladimir putin?"

From www.johnheartfield.com: "Heartfield manages to reveal that Hitler was not β€œa tool in God’s hand” but rather β€œa toy (a puppet) in Thyssen’s hand.”

"Heartfield’s montages openly appeared on street corner #news stands throughout Berlin as the Nazi Party rose to power.

The AIZ #magazine eventually enjoyed #Germany ’s second or third-largest circulation (300,000-500,000)."
